  In the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) a racetrack design has been adopted for the decay ring*. The injection system into the decay ring is described. The feasibility of injecting both positive and negative muons into the ring is explored from the point of view of injection timing. Considerations for the design of a decay ring for a 10 GeV neutrino factory are included.

  The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory will produce a reference design report in 2013 that will contain a detailed performance analysis of the Neutrino Factory and a cost estimate. In order to determine the cost a number of engineering features need to be included in the accelerator physics design, which can require the physics design to be re-optimized. The cost estimate is determined in such a way as to make efficient use of the engineering resources available and to simplify the process of modifying the physics design to include engineering features. This paper will present details of the methodology used to determine the cost estimate and the current status of each subsystem.

  The CLIC drive beam decelerator requires 41,848 quadrupoles along its 42km length. In response to concerns over the heat load and operating costs of electromagnet systems, ASTeC in collaboration with CERN is developing adjustable permanent magnet-based quadrupoles. This novel design concept uses moving permanent magnets to adjust the quadrupole strength over a wide operating range. The design has focused not just on achieving the field strength and quality required but has also tried to make the design well suited to mass production, as the CLIC project requires 50 magnets to be completed every day for three years. Two permanent magnet quadrupole families have been designed, for the low and high energy ends of the decelerator respectively. We present the current status of the project, including construction and magnetic measurements of the first prototype.
